Need Center and Surrounds to Match Focal Sopra 3

Funny, in an odd way, you mentioned Paradigm. My main speakers are Sopra 2s. I use a Paradigm Prestige 55c as a center channel. I don't see any need to change it. It works perfectly for my needs and the lack of matching (which I doubt I would ever perceive if I tried) just isn't material for me. TV and movie viewing just isn't a high priority compared to music. I tried phantom in the past and I found I was constantly changing the volume to hear the dialogue better. I now run a Marantz SR7013 for HT, and have an integrated with HT bypass for music listening. The Sopra's are a beautiful speaker and I assume you have an integrated for 2-channel. IMO, they are overkill for just HT use. |
I've ordered my Sopra 3's and am starting the construction of a listening room, I was toying around with a 7.4.2 Atmos set up since I have the Sopra's and sub's and have open studs with nothing really stopping me. Honestly 3D music is probably my prime motivator. I was just thinking of using all Focal in wall/ceiling speakers. I'm still kinda torn on the idea. I listen to music every day, I watch movies every other month. Really don't see the value, but I'm building a room and have a blank canvas with bare stud's, so I tell myself "if ever there was a time it's now" Sounds like I should exercise some self control. I don't have a theatre now and love my stereo system, I guess I don't need a theatre then? Wish you luck @jjsoll |
